Pablo Picasso portrays a stage in the bullfight when the bullfighter is caught by the horns of the bull. During filming of "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

During the 1955 filming of "Le mystère Picasso" at the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, a barefoot Pablo Picasso is seen from behind, working in a dimly lit space. Dressed in a patterned shirt and shorts, he attends to a large, horizontal painting depicting a bullfighter caught by a bull’s horns. Rendered in a dramatic cubist style with a palette of black, white, gray, and red, the artwork is illuminated by a strong, direct light from the right, which casts deep shadows across the studio.
